Olympic Triathlon (Women)
The triathlon race format at the Olympics for both the women’s and men’s events consists of a 1500 m swim, a 40 km cycle and a 10 km run.
Olympic Cycling Road Race (Men)
The road race, in which all riders set off at the same time in a mass start, is highly a tactical feat of endurance. Often, the race (over 120km for the women, and over 200km for the men) is won in a sprint finish over a few hundred meters, which means riders need to position themselves perfectly and conserve their energy in the first part of the race.
